Chapter 63 Fashion Magazines: How to Sell TV Shows
For the last two days, he went to Harper's Bazaar Men and L'Officiel Hommes to shoot cover photos for the next issue.
Both of these magazines can only be considered second-tier men's fashion magazines, but they have a decent influence.
Given Lin Zixuan's current status, she is not yet in the sights of top-tier fashion magazines.
Lin Zixuan was initially reluctant, feeling that since he was no longer accepting GG endorsements, appearing on the cover of such a magazine wouldn't make much sense, especially since it was a second-tier magazine.
However, Chu Qingxuan eventually managed to persuade him with her earnest words.
Although the influence of print media has gradually weakened with the rapid rise of the Internet, whether a celebrity can appear on the cover of a fashion magazine remains an important criterion for judging a celebrity's influence.
Fans often judge a celebrity's popularity by how many magazine covers they appear on.
GG's endorsement companies also choose spokespeople based on how celebrities appear on magazine covers, which can even affect the endorsement price.
Lin Zixuan's popularity soared after releasing four songs, engaging in a public feud with La Ying in the media, and gaining recognition from state media, propelling him to the ranks of A-list celebrities.
However, this top-tier status is still very unstable and needs to be stabilized through various means.
Besides constantly releasing new works, performing at commercial events is one way to make money, and appearing on the cover of fashion magazines is also a very good way.
Moreover, shooting more fashion magazine covers will make fans happy, and they will have more confidence and leverage when showing off, bragging, or arguing with others in the future.
Another important point is that after you take photos for a magazine cover, some of the particularly good photos will be pirated and turned into posters, which will be sold in shops around primary, middle, and high schools across the country.
Hearing this, Lin Zixuan interjected, "Ah, isn't this a pirated copy?"
"Yes, it is indeed piracy, but who can stop it?"
"Is this good for me?"
"Of course, there are great benefits. This is actually free publicity for you, and it is precise publicity to the target audience."
The current fan base is mainly composed of students. With your teacher's posters, you're sure to attract and be collected by young girls.
If your posters are collected by millions of students and hung in their bedrooms or above their beds, they will be more enthusiastic about continuing to support you, which will help you solidify your position in the fanbase.
Although Lin Zixuan felt a little ashamed, he thought it made a lot of sense. "Okay, I'll follow your arrangements."
On the morning of the first day, Lin Zixuan, accompanied by Chu Qingxuan, arrived at the photography studio of Harper's Bazaar Men.
Editor-in-Chief Hu Bing came out to greet him, "Lin Zixuan, welcome to Bazaar Men."
"Editor-in-Chief Hu, you're too kind. I should thank you for your high regard."
"Haha, you're too modest. You're so handsome and stylish, and with your current popularity, you're a perfect fit for our magazine's style."
. . . . .
After chatting for a while, Lin Zixuan went into the photography studio to take pictures.
This is Lin Zixuan's solo cover; she doesn't need to collaborate with anyone else.
Once inside the dressing room, a professional makeup artist will perform a simple makeup application.
"Teacher Lin, your face shape is truly perfect, with no flaws in your features. Few celebrities who come here to take photos have such high looks as you."
Especially your skin; you have the best skin I've ever seen among male celebrities.
In the dressing room, the makeup artist who was applying makeup to Lin Zixuan exclaimed from the bottom of her heart.
"You flatter me."
Lin Zixuan answered modestly.
After finishing my makeup and changing into my outfit for the shoot, I arrived at the photography studio.
After greeting the photographer, Lin Zixuan stood in the center.
They posed in a series of ways as requested by the photographer, and made various facial expressions.
"Very good, Teacher Lin, you can put your hand down and make your expression a little more serious."
The photographer took the photos while instructing him to adjust his movements and expressions.
"That's awesome! That look is so cool, it's sure to charm a lot of girls."
For a photographer, taking pictures of Lin Zixuan is obviously a very easy job.
No matter what kind of request he made, Lin Zixuan could fulfill it perfectly in the shortest amount of time.
He made Lin Zixuan change into several different outfits.
There are suits, trench coats, leather jackets, jeans, and casual wear.
Different clothes represent different styles.
They would choose the most outstanding set of photos to put on the cover, and the other photos would be placed in the magazine's inner pages.
The filming went smoothly, and by 4 p.m., it was all finished in just over half a day.
After changing back into her own clothes, Lin Zixuan bid farewell to Hu Bing and left Harper's Bazaar Men.
The next day, Lin Zixuan came to "Men's Fashion" again to shoot a cover photo.
Soon after the photoshoot, news of Lin Zixuan appearing on the cover of their December issues was published on the official websites of Harper's Bazaar and La Mancha magazines.
Lin Zixuan's fans were in an uproar.
Many left messages on Sina Blog and Baidu Tieba Xuanyuan Bar.
"My brother is so handsome and has such a stylish temperament. He is a perfect match for fashion magazines."
"The editors-in-chief of Harper's Bazaar and La Mancha have excellent taste."
"Keep it up, Lin Zixuan! I'm definitely buying both of these magazines next month."
o
After finishing commercial performances and magazine appearances, good news came from the "Someday or One Day" project: after a month and a half of hard work, post-production was completed and the final product was released.
When Lin Zixuan arrived at the National Changsheng Film and Television Company, Zhang Guoli also happened to be returning from Hengdian.
His new TV series, "The New Legend of Ji Gong," has been filming for a month. Since the crew is all his own people and the actors are all familiar with each other, the filming is going very smoothly.
Now that "Someday or One Day" has been completed, the most important next step is naturally to sell the show.
He then handed over the filming schedule of "The New Legend of Ji Gong" to his lover, who is also the producer, Deng Jie, and the assistant director, and rushed back to his company.
Upon seeing Lin Zixuan, he patted him on the shoulder happily and said, "Zixuan, well done! Your 'Chinese Language' is really well written!"
.
Lin Zixuan said modestly, "I don't deserve Uncle Zhang's praise."
"Don't be modest. Didn't you see that Xinhua Publishing House praised you? And now that you're famous, it will be a great benefit to our future drama sales."
He really didn't expect that Lin Zixuan was so talented and capable of making waves. In just over half a month, she had become a shining star in the music scene and turned into a top-tier singer. And now she was at the peak of her popularity.
Based on his understanding of television stations, this was definitely a huge plus for selling the show, which is why he left the "The New Legend of Ji Gong" crew and rushed back – to catch up with Lin Zixuan's popularity.
. . . . .
After greeting everyone, Zhang Guoli, along with director Liu Junjie, executive producer Zhou Haopeng, and several senior executives from the production department, went to the screening room to watch "Someday or One Day" and assess the quality of the TV series.
Seeing that most of the people preparing to watch the show were older, Lin Zixuan couldn't help but suggest, "President Zhang, our show 'Someday or One Day' is a youth idol drama. I suggest we invite a few of the younger people from your company to watch it together and hear their thoughts."
Zhang Guoli readily agreed and had Zhou Haopeng call in seven or eight young people who had recently graduated from university before the music started playing.
. . . . . .
Once the video started playing, it was impossible to stop. From the very beginning, everyone was completely engrossed in the storyline, and they even ate fast food for lunch in the conference room.
By 4 p.m., ten episodes of the TV series had already aired. Zhang Guoli ordered the broadcast to be stopped, and several young people murmured in dissatisfaction.
"What do you all think of the TV series?"
"Mr. Zhang, this TV series is so good! It's much better than any other TV series on the market."
"This show is absolutely amazing, even better than last year's hit 'The Prince Who Turns into a Frog'."
"The female lead is beautiful and affectionate, and the male lead is handsome and devoted. The two are devoted to each other and unwavering in their commitment. They only want to see each other across time and space. The plot is so touching. This TV series is sure to be a hit."
. . . .
After listening to everyone's comments, Zhang Guoli felt more confident.
Back in his office, he started making phone calls to old friends at the TV station.
"Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am Zhang Guoli."
"My company produced an urban idol drama called 'Someday or One Day'..."
""
"The male lead is Lin Zixuan, who just released the song 'Chinese,' and the female lead is Dong Xuan..."
"Interested? That's great! I'll be holding a preview event at the company tomorrow afternoon. Could you please come to Beijing and offer some guidance on our work?"
"Mr. Zhou, I have a suggestion. My drama is an urban idol drama, so I suggest you bring a few young people with you tomorrow."
"Okay, okay, it's settled then. See you tomorrow."
"Mr. Fang..."
